"Since the AC/DC concert we've had a little bit of trouble," Maddon said. "I don't know if they were out there taking ground balls in 9-inch heels."

The comment came after second baseman Starlin Castro had an error in the Cubs' win against the Milwaukee Brewers Monday. Maddon blamed it on a bad hop, ESPN reported.

"It's not even," Castro told the Chicago Tribune. "Some places are long, some are short. It's not like it used to look."

The Cubs grounds crews replaced the entire outfield with new sod after the concert, but there have still been complaints about the new grass, ESPN reported.

The Cubs had three errors during Monday's game, the Sporting News reported.

Giants and Dodgers stadiums play host to AC/DC on Friday and Monday, The Washington Post reported.
